Broken 201t tank

[_tc]

Could someone please guide me through stripping my 201t down so I can replace the fuel tank? I dropped it yesterday on to Tarmac. Not a good day!!

My 201 fell out the side locker of the Landy just last week 😢

Split the fuel tank!

Cost me £130 at the local dealers to repair, new tank and under body which is all the same part.

Think the tank was £70 odd.

Thanks Scott the bits have come to about £80 all in. Ive never stripped one down though so new territory here for me.

In short, you need to remove the recoil cover, clutch cover, remove the carb, remove the top handle, remove the cover directly under where the top handle is, remove the manifold - note the different lengths of the retaining screws - get then the wrong way round and you will know it:thumbdown: Can't remember if you must remove the clutch and inner covers or not.

 

You should then be able to remove the tank and do the reverse of the above.

 

It is simple if you take it slowly and are reasonably mechanically minded - take a few pictures of the saw as you take it appart to jog your memory on reassembly.
